In Which We Find the CRI Making Stuff Up Again To Try To Scare People
Seriously — they are actually PAYING money for their bullshit. And the new bullshit is today’s amateurish hand-wringing about Delaware’s debt situation and how apparently this is supposed to be a sword of Damocles for state Democrats by the CRI’s resident economist. An economist who apparently aspires to be the local version of the Laffer curve guy.

What a weak, pathetic woman. Shame on me for thinking she had a backbone (and a part of me is hoping that this is a big misunderstanding – that someone hijacked her twitter account).

Connections

… leads to this:
A 14-year-old girl who was taunted by classmates after she [...]
